Conference Description: Cities have become loci of innovation in housing, health care, transportation, and other areas of policy making. What are the key opportunities and challenges facing global cities over the next decade? How will rising sea levels affect coastal powerhouses such as Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New York, or low-lying inland cities such as Berlin and Paris? Global conferees gathering in New York on October 16 will explore these issues, focusing particularly on China, German, Belgium and the United States of America. Papers may address issues emerging at the local, provincial, national or transnational levels. Current presenters represent USA, China, Belgium, and Germany.
